    I still use my CD player. Especially if I’ve forgotten to turn bluetooth on and can’t be bothering with flipping my phone out. Fiddling with a bunch of plastic and easily scratchable CDs is much better.

      I don’t understand these words: “Forgotten to turn on Bluetooth”.

      You turn Bluetooth off, or D by use automation to manage it?

      Over the years I’ve ysd a combination or NFC and Macrodroid/Automate/Tasker to manage connections.

      Like I always wanty phone to connect to my car, so NFC tag right beside the phone mount. Quick touch and all is configured - BT connection, volumes, etc.

        I think you just made OP’s case about the simplicity of popping a cd in the cd player and being done with it. What you described almost needs a degree to understand. 😂

        Active BT & WiFi radios can be used to identify you and track your movement, so I tend to keep them off whenever not in use. I do try to have it automated but I often need to manually toggle it.
